"Businesses split over Spit Plan"

Gold Coast Bulletin - 21st March 2017

ASF losing business support

Described often as a deal that benefits ASF to the detriment of many local businesses on the Gold Coast.

Following Dr Gration's presentation at the recent community info night , national/international journalists and local business leaders are approaching Dr Gration for his evidence-based factual analysis of ASF's corporate structure and history in relation to their Spit proposal and the short comings in the Department of State Development's (DSD) due diligence, probity investigation negligence and their lack of transparency during this whole process.

Dr Gration drew laughter from those in attendance then jaws dropped when he highlighted the bizarre set of events and government conflicts of intererests leading to the current attempts at obvious private land grabs of public assets on the Spit. These unethical actions in our opinion are being perpetrated by ASF and Tate, who in turn are being aided by DSD and GCCC officers.

"Astute business leaders are now aware that the State Government, ASF and GCCC have fed them unverified and fictional jobs and economic figures through public announcements by Lynham, ASF and Tate.

In contrast, Tourism Australia have clearly revealed that casinos, nightclubs and bars are at the bottom of the list of appealing attractions for international tourists visiting Australia."

Dr Steven Gration

Over several years the Gold Coast community and local business leaders contributed to the Gold Coast City Plan 2016 and support its tenets of: low-rise and non-residential developments; and sustainable recreational, tourism and cultural activities on the crown land south of Sea World.The stench of the Queensland Government doing 'backroom deals' with a foreign government at the expence of local vision, local businesses and local employment does not sit well with many local business leaders.

Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) probe

MORATORIUM

Until the CCC establishes whether the current Gold Coast Councillors were legally elected in 2016 (including the Mayor) we demand that the Minister for Local Government, Minister for Planning and the State Attorney General enforce a moratorium on all development applications on crown land, publc assets and parklands on the Gold Coast. We also advocate for the State Auditor General to look at GCCC's "books" during the past 5 years of Tate's Mayoral reign.
